I normally travel between 65-75 mph on the highway. I was happy with the results.
i just figured the approximate mileage for mine from full till 3/4. got 155 miles on about 6.5 gallons which is 23.85mpg. has 9300 miles and only a cold air intake. also found out the 4.2 is very efficient with the 3.55s at 25 to 35 mph which is 3rd and fourth gears. i went cuising for about 5 miles at those speeds and i am almost positive that is why mine jumped from just over 21 to almost 24mpg
